Akori leaned forward and nuzzled Ions cheek. He felt bad that she had no family. Sure he had a small broken one but the ones left loved each other in some form. "Then dont worry. I'll bring you into my family and then you'll have one. Mmm although its a bit broken at the moment. Daddy is really sick and Aunt Hollow holds this really big grudge against daddy because he took mommy but Mommy would love another girl. She wanted two but I was born a boy. Oh and Apries broke daddy and Marius's heart by just leaving. Chione did the same thing but she's youngest so apparently it wasnt as big a impact" (*anime faint* OTL geez Akori... gah)
Akori shook his head. He needed to focus... focus and not become sad. "Yes help would be great we could bring back more herbs. Horus said I should collect as much as possible." AKori nodded really fast.

Ion’s heart felt like it stopped for a moment as Akori nuzzeled her cheek. Instantly she had a blush. It was hard to focus on what was being said after Akori mentioned bringing her into his family. What does that mean? Did that mean as a bride? No no Akori can’t mean that can he? Ion’s heart flicked the switch into overdrive and started to beat much faster. “uh mm.. Your dad and aunt might make with time and your mom loves you all even if there is only one girl in the litter. Apries and might come back and visit so that will help your dad and Marius.. the same is true with Chione.” Oh so I don’t even know who half of these people are. Sill I have to say something I don’t want Akori to be sad. “It will be ok. It just takes time. And when this blows over your family will be stronger because of it.”
Ion watched him nod and smiled. “Well in that case I’d be happy to help so that you can carry twice as much back and help every buddy! ”
(wow he slamed her with a lot of into and a blow to the heart.. he doesn’t mess around…)

"Oh I hope so but I... we are just all a bit stubborn" He stated and then frowned his frown grew deeper as he looked Ion over. He really really liked spending time with Ion she didnt treat him as strange or weird because he could see these weird dust things. Kemet didnt either but it was more special he supposed with Ion since she didnt spend every day with him. He wanted to change that which is why he mentioned the family. 'but then what would she be in the family?' he thought. "A sister?" he muttered out loud unknowingly in a low tone. This caused an even bigger frown. No he didnt like that thought. He felt weird. So sister was out. "Friend?" no this wouldnt work. Friends werent really family and that wouldnt help her no family status. "Ma-" AKori trailed off and blushed a bit glad his fur was dark and redish on its own to hide it. Well Ion was pretty but he was just a weird narbles male. He wasnt impressive as Marius or shy and colorful as Chione and Apries.
"ah yes. So its a deal but we still have to wait for day light though" he answered shifting to a safer topic.

Oh dear. Akori was looking at her and frowning. Ion’s heart sank a bit. Was he mad at her? Had she done something wrong? Perhaps she shouldn’t have commented on the family issues? She really didn’t want Akori to be cross with her. Then mentioned ‘a sister’ was there something wrong with what she had said before about his sister or not having another sister? When he said ‘friend’ it clicked. He was trying to place her into his family. Her tail wagged he hadn’t picked sister which was a good thing. Ion figured she would have a hard time being his sister and being.. attracted to him as she was. He had started to say what sounded like mate.. but he trailed off so Ion wasn’t sure. Perhaps he didn’t know where to place her. Ion looked down at her coat. It was the only thing pretty about her and her it was coated with desert sand. She mentally sighed but Akori had changed topics so she nodded happily and was surprised that she was actually happy to be able to help him. “so sleep in the temple and in the morning you’ll show me what plants to collect?”

Yes a new change in topic would work. Akori would have time to think about it right. He knew there were only so many ways to go into a family but most of them felt wrong. He didnt like Ion in those roles. Perhaps during this herb gathering excursion he would be able to tell where he should place her and she would want to go there as well. "yes. Well actually it will be more like one watching the river and the other picking herbs but taking turns looking out for danger should be okay." he nodded. It was about then they finally came up to the temple. Akori let out a little whistle as it seemed to be in perfect condition with no sighs of ruin that some of the others had. It was a good sign and the slightly moon glow to the marble meant Osiris had decided to stay in this temple for the night. They would be fine. Of course they would also have to go through the rituals but it would be okay. Dont eat fish and wash before entering the main structure. Easy enough. In the morning he would clear off the shrine give Osiris some food and maybe light some incense before going out to get herbs.

Ion yawned. Even though she had slept buried by the sand she still felt tired. A near death experience seemed to do that. She nodded with what Akori said. “I don’t mind being lookout or picking herbs. Taking turns sounds fair enough to me.” As the excitement of the night began to wear off she wanted to curl up and nap. Akori was there and that made her feel safe. His whistle woke her up though. She looked at the temple with interest. It was a fascinating building. She walked up and reached out to tap it. “Akori how was this built? And there are carvings do those mean anything special? ”
Ion looked back to Akori wide eyed and alert. She had never seen a building like this in her entire life. It just seemed so unusual to her.

"Yes they do. Those are Jackals they tend to obey and serve under Anubis who in turn serves under Osiris. Over there is the balance and thus you have snakes who tend to listen to Amun. However the reason they arent so prominent is this is a temple to Osiris. I dont know this for sure but I think Osiris is actually in the temple tonight so we'll have to do a few preparations before we can go in. It was built by humans. In the last Kemet tribe we lived side by side with them protecting them and helping them as they protected and helped us. They made these temples and monuments for Osiris so he would have a place to live" he explained.

Ion tapped one of the carvings. So this temple was built by humans. Then foxes and humans both worshiped the same modieties? It was interesting. Her mind was working fast trying to image humans and foxes both paying in the same temple. The thought was far easier to imagine than she thought it would be. Still the idea that a modiety was in the temple this very night was even more exciting. “So what do we have to do before we go in? I don’t want to offend Osiris.” Ion’s tail was wagging and she was wide awake now.

"Well I have the most stuff to do. Mostly we have to refrain from eating fish while we are in here and wash off the sand and dirt. Then clean up the shrine where Osiris is staying in. In the morning before we go we leave some berries and food so he will be able to eat and burn some insense to make the place smell good and ward off any ill spirits or narbles seth might try to send." It was then he looked back to his current tribe. He wondered if the viris was from the other modeity but then again Horus, raz Marius and himself weren't sick at all. Others weren't very sick either.

“Ah ok. Well sill it’ll take a while for me to wash my coat of since I have sand everywhere.” Ion blushed softly. She had sand in her fur and all over her coat. “is there any water nearby that has no fox eating lizards in it?” She shivered relieving that near death experience wasn’t something she wanted to do anytime soon. Looking up at Akori she tried to hide her fear. She didn’t want to seem weak in front of the nice, handsome, sweet fox that had offered to bring her into his family. “I’ll be happy to help you clean off the shrine in the morning and get some berries for Orisis. I don’t know how to start a fire though so you’ll have to burn the incense. ”

"oh we have pools of water to counter that. in Kemet the modeities protect you but a sort of balance needs to be met as well so you needed to protect yourself. Since the humans and the foxes felt they should honor the modeity by being clean they have sort of magical pools of water in which to cleanse themselves with. " Akori recited from memory trying to remember what his father had told him. It was then his mood dropped. His dad was so sick at the moment. Amun and Hitoru had left the tribe and created a vacuum it was fixing its self but Dad had suffered the worse being sick and keeping the tribe together while Horus and persephone recovered.

“mm that sounds interesting. At least the modities at nice enough to give nice clean pools of water to wash off with.” Ion watched Akori’s face fall. Her eyes widened and she began to fidget. What should she do? What could she even do? It wasn’t like she could just wave a paw and fix all the problems. Still she had to do something. Seeing Akori sad was unacceptable. She leaned in and kissed Akori cheek. Her face was red and her words came out a bit fast but she was at least able to speak her mind. “D-Don’t be down. I might not be of any real use but tell me what to do and I’ll help out as best as I can.” She shifted her weight from paw to paw wondering if she went to far. But she hadn’t been able to think of anything else.

He was suddenly jerked out of his thoughts as Ion kissed him... him of all foxes. he went bright red this time and was sure it was absolutely visible. She kissed... him. Oh he needed to concentrate get his mind working again. She had asked him a question right. Yes he was sad about his dad and she had tried cheering him up? "No... no you are a lot of use. I was just thinking about the health of my family. You've been lots of help. You might not even realize the help you've given but...." oh he should just stop talking. They where at the entrance to the temple anyways. As soon as they walked through the door the lighting went a bit more eerie and as he stepped down his foot touched the water that coated the pathway to the main temple. On either side was a pool of water obviously for the different genders.

Akori’s face got red. That he said she wasn’t a lot of use. It crushed Ion then she felt better when said she was lots of help. It seemed like he was contradicting himself because he was thinking. Was his family that sick? Ion was worried for Akori and his family though she had never meet them. Her ears were back as she listened to Akori. He was making her feel good even when his own world was dark. She felt her heart weep for him. Still when he stopped talking she looked around there was water on the ground she stepped onto it carefully. It was cool without being cold. There were two seprate pools. Even she could figure out that one was for male and the other for females. “um.. the one over there is for girls right.” Ion’s voice was hushed and quite as she spoke. She padded up to the pool but didn’t hop right in. She looked back to Akori. The last thing she wanted was to offend the modity of the temple by getting in the wrong bathing pool.

Akori watched as the emotions played out on her face. Had he said something wrong. Maybe in his mumbling he had said something weird. He had said she was a lot of help and was of use. Mmm maybe Akori should just stick to narbles. Then again girls where weird. Chione was often extremely sad around him and marius. There was some problem between the three of them. She always seemed to lean towards Apries. Was it because the both of them had some vixen offending method? "Mmm I dont think it really matters what pool you go into they both have slightly good narbles. I think its just if you are with different genders you go to one side. Ah well Osiris will make it known if we did some thing wrong" Akori nodded. Then again things for different genders where usually always on the same side when split.
